Proto-Altaic: *máĺe
Meaning: wild cat
Russian meaning: дикий кот
Comments: In Jpn. -u- is irregular (*-ǝ- would be expected); this is probably a distortion in a long word. Turkic, as in a number of other cases, preserves here some traces of nasalization.

Notes and references: ЭСКЯ 125-126, Климов 1994, 124-126 (с реконструкцией *mēl-). Сравнение с ПИЕ *mēlo- 'мелкое животное' (Климов ibid.) несколько сомнительно, поскольку в индоевропейских языках корень обозначает прежде всего домашнее животное (см. Walde 2, 296).
